Hernandez, a freshman at Thornridge High School, was shot to death when he apparent caught in the cross fire of two waring groups. "He was so full of life," Henry said, describing herself as a second mother. "He had his own style but he was a Christian most importantly. He is with the Lord . . . This is the only reason I'm standing right now."
